J.D. Vance’s decision to run with Donald Trump is an eye-opener to be sure.
The freshman U.S. senator from Ohio — whose public service career spans the two years he has served in the Senate — once called himself an irrevocable “never Trumper.” He sounded pretty solid when he made that declaration in front of TV cameras.
Now he’s in Trump’s camp. All the way, he indicates. So, Trump chose him to run as VP on a GOP president ticket led — for the third straight election cycle — by Donald Trump.
It’s not that the GOP field of VPOTUS hopefuls lacked candidates who at one time or another spoke ill of the presidential nominee. So did Sen. Marco Rubio, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum and Sen. Tim Scott. They were passed over for Vance.
I don’t know what to make of this selection. If Trump follows past patterns, he’ll sing Vance’s praises until Vance says or does something that displeases Trump. Then he’ll become the “worst human being ever to walk the Earth” …. or words to that effect.
Today’s odds suggest Trump is going to win the presidency. I am not going place that bet just yet. We still have some time to go. President Biden has his own convention to get through. He still has time to sharpen his daggers. Yes, he’s got that assassination attempt hanging over his temptation to resume recounting all the lies, the criminal activity for which Trump has been convicted and truckloads of negativity that accompany Trump wherever he goes.
Trump also reportedly is going to speak to the GOP convention to propose a theme of unity. I am going to hold my breath on that one. I do not expect him to follow the theme he is going to set.
What the hell … he might not even find unity between himself and the fellow he chose to run with him!
You need to drop the political commentary. You’re certainly no longer qualified, even as a blogger. Still spewing rhetoric. If you were a true political commentator, you’d be asking a whole lot of questions as to how the assassination attempt even happened when so many people tried to warn SS and police about the guy on the roof and were ignored. Or, how he came in with a gun and ladder. Or, how one officer confronted him and he pointed a gun at him and the officer fell, BUT DID NOT GET ON THE RADIO!!
You ask ZERO questions probably because you’re secretly like most liberals wishing he hadn’t missed.
With all the bullshit that’s been going on the last few years, not once have you heard republicans state wishing Biden dead. That can’t be said of democrats regarding Trump. They’ve openly stated it! What a damn disgrace!
” … you’re secretly like most liberals wishing he hadn’t missed.” Of all the trash you have posted on this site, this is by far the most hateful, cynical pile of shit you’ve ever tossed at me. How dare you presume to ascribe such a thing to anyone, particularly someone you do not know. You make me sick to my stomach.
And your foul rhetoric and lies makes me sick!
Here’s a deal for you. We both sicken each other, but I don’t make you sick enough for you to stop reading my blog … which is fine with me. Do not ever again try to put words into my mouth by suggesting something so hideous as my wanting someone to actually do harm to the ex-POTUS. I will axe those remarks immediately. Never have I suggested such a thing, nor will I ever do so in the future.
